I'm sorry you're going through all that PT! I couldn't hold a regular job either. I might be pretty good for weeks and then, BAM!, I'm down for the count.
I don't have kids either so that must make it a lot harder for you (feeling guilty and all that).
I hope it goes well with the doc. I've looked at those pops and patches too, so expensive I don't even want to try them.
If they work well, I couldn't afford them anyway.
Best wishes
